Verdict
Just 5lb between seven runners so caution is the watchword. Handwoven is top-rated - narrowly - on official figures but has yet to get his head in front in a series of consistent efforts. Double Czech was inched out here a week ago so is in good heart but does face contrasting conditions on this occasion whilst Avocadeau is the only member of the septet without a run this season. The last two performances from PEACEMAKER have been moderate but both came on soft ground whereas she landed a seven furlong auction maiden at Leicester last September on the forecast quick ground. She's a tentative recommendation returned to a quick surface.
